Blame It on Rousseau

"Blame It on Rousseau" (original title: *La Faute à Rousseau*) was a French television series that aired on France 2. The show focuses on Benjamin Rousseau, a brilliant but chaotic philosophy teacher at a high school. He believes that philosophy isn't just an abstract subject but a practical tool for living. In each episode, Rousseau helps a different student navigate a personal crisis—from love and identity to family pressure—by applying the ideas of famous philosophers like Kant, Plato, or Nietzsche. While his unconventional methods often land him in trouble with the school's administration, he forms a genuine connection with his students, helping them think critically about their own lives.
